I successfully opened and shut the passenger side power door using the key fob. Ten minutes later I came back out to the van and I started to open it with the key fob and then it stopped after opening about 12 inches. It tried to go the other direction then stopped. The door will not manually or electrically move further than +/- 5 inches in either direction. It acts the same way manually or electrically. I had to remove the steel guide cable to get the door to close. It will try to open and close with the key fob but stays stuck open. It looks to me like the steel cable is stuck. After removing steel cable from the door I used the key fob and it pulled the cable towards the closed position. I am not sure what the problem is and/or how to check to see if the steel guide cable is stuck or not. This is the first time the van has been in below 30 degree Fahrenheit weather.

sounds like the door sensor switch is malfunctioning and when almost closed it reacts like it is blocked (such and kid in way) and opens for safety. try flushing trach with hose and try again, if not u need a good repair manual such as chiltons($25 most parts stores ) or see mechanic
